All Blacks And Springboks Name Teams For Huge World Cup Clash

New Zealand and South Africa have both named their teams for Saturday's Rugby World Cup match in Yokohama.

The All Blacks continue to use Richie Mo'unga and Beauden Barrett as dual play makers at out-half and fullback respectively.

South Africa have named the same team which defeated Japan 41-7 in a warm-up game a fortnight ago. It is also the same side which drew 16-16 with New Zealand in the Rugby Championship back in June.

The match could be one with major ramifications for Ireland. If Joe Schmidt's side progress from Pool A, they will likely face one of these teams in the quarter-finals.
